Bresmelah!

In observance of a custom that
has been followed by all Jews
from Moses down to bro. Mayor,
a party of friends assembled at
the residence of Mr.. Joseph and
Mrs. Rachel Hirsch on Sunday
last, to assist Mr.. NJ. Lowenberg,
of Vicksburg, in giving to their
eight days old son Emile Voltaire
his baptisnal name and sign as a
child Of the Jewish faith. This
is the fourth time that Mr.. Lowen.
berg has been called upon to rem.
der this service to this family. On
the first occasion il was in a small
house on Locust street, that was
not built TO resist great pressure,

In his larger and stronger house
there was no danger Of such u dis.
aster, and 1t was filed with jews
and Gentiles, who were royalty
entertained with q dinner ofmeats,
cakes, wines and beer. II was an
embarrassment of good things
and was rounded up by parting
the red lips of iifty.four pound
watermelon. The hospitality was
so generous and the table so enti.
cling that il required pretty strong
self.denial TO withdraw. 1t was
enjoyment without stint, and the
departing guests could but wish
that for parents and children the
measure and cruise might be al.

This made 1902 occasions of the

Loyee Be- a.; for the 10Th inst.
A writer 10 the Avalanche, says /:
s~The present resources Of the
upper levee district are inadequate
to meet this emergency, aside from
the doubt which exists in the minds
of many as to its legal authority 10
expend money IN this particular
territory
We have no occasion or inellna-
tion to accep, this controversial
gage, thus senseIessly oLtruded.
Jurisdiction has been settled by
act Of legislature, and the perfect
coincidence Of the opinion OF the
opposing attorneys and the AttOr.
ney General.
SIT is expected that the lower
district levee board, who are more
largely interested than the upper
district in the preservation OF this
leyee, will tender their aid in some
form 10 tide over the breach and
prevent disaster TO a large portion
Of the Yaz0o Delta.n
We trust that Engineer Dabney
will have something more than
this "broken reed" to offer when
his board meets. Were a request
for aid upon proper grounds even,
preferred to this board, the district
necessities would not admit of its
grant.
A letter from Commissioner
Ricks of Yaxoo, thanking us for
interest shown in this matter, says:

The City Council had the boot
black puzzle before it on Tuesday.
How to decrease the number OF
young negroes who swarm on the
street corners and make them un-
pleasant with vulgarity and peril
nacity, was the question. Sugges.
tion was made that the police be
ordered to disperse them when
their congregations become bois.
ferrous, and we trust that this will
be done. The bootblacks are of
course entitled to the privilege OF
making a living; but the citizens
and especially ladies should be
protected from the rudeness and
indecency of which these groups
of young negroes are frequently
guilty.

DeplOrabIe Scene In a Memphis Court

The outburst of Judge DuBose,
Of the Memphis criminal court on
Wednesday last upon one Of the
attorneys Gen. Wright, as related
by the city papers, was a shock TO
the idea Of dignity and propriety
which "doth hedge a court, IL
WIS a eliminating scene in the.
Hadden trial which is attracting
wide attention. In brief this is q
partial statement OF the facts as
we understand them: President
Iadden has become noted, popu-
lar indeed, through rude and
ready habit of dispensing justice,
a bold aud iippant manner of ex.
preston IN applying corrections
and punishment to yiolators oflaw.
of dignity his court had none and
he was not always restrained by
the delays aud forms Of law In his
procedures. But il was not sup
posed that his apparent and yeni-
al transgressions of authority in
the police court, indexed grave
and serious derelietions IN the
handling Of the public funds. Sc.
curing proof however that over
100000 had been expended and
large contracts let in gross and
nagrant violation of law the ut.
torney general brought the case
before the grand jury. This be.
coming bruited around popular
furore, headed by the press, was
raised f; and the grand jury refusing
to lndlct, the attorney general com.
planned to the presiding Judge
DuBoso. iio summoned the fore.
man before him who admitted that
there was evidence sufficient, but
the grand jury simply, as ii had
the right, would not indict, Then
Judge DuBose committed his first
error; he discharged the grand
jury. Had he recognized the pre-.
rogative claimed, the outrageous
and scandalous statement which
accompanied the claim would have
had u more effective moral intiu.
once than Hadden's conviction.
Snmmoning another grand jury,
Haddcn and others of the Board
were indicted. Forced to recog-
nize his error, the Judge quashed
the indictment; but In q contro.
vorsy with Iladden's counsel lost
his temper and grossly abused the
authority Of his Office as set forth
in the Memphis papers of Wod.
nesday.
This Is an evidence of an intem.
perate man injuring right cause
which he is charged to administer.
If the indictments charge Mr..
lIaaden truly he should be dis.
missed his Office in ignomlny, if ho
escapes the peilitentiary. But the
true issue is obscurod by the
Judges bad break which IN all
probability practically ends the
prosecution.

"We have defined the purposes

those most interested in this

that each branch of business may
be represented upon said board.
